Is Affinity Photo a good alternative to Krita?Comments about Affinity Photo as an Alternative to Krita
lian00Affinity Photo has some tools for digital painting but as it’s not the main goal of the sofware (more photo editing), interface and selection tools are not suited for digital artists.

Is MediBang Paint a good alternative to Krita?Comments about MediBang Paint as an Alternative to Krita
lian00Default brushes in MediBang cannot be compared to Krita’s engine. MediBang may be a nice tool for manga creation but it cannot compete relative to digital painting with Krita.

Is Procreate a good alternative to Krita?Comments about Procreate as an Alternative to Krita
PaulProbably the best drawing app if you're using an iPad!
1Unlike the most popular choices, Procreate is a drawing program like Krita, not a photo editing program that you can draw with.
1Easier to use, yet similarly powerful. Not open source though.

Comments about Adobe Photoshop as an Alternative to Krita
Photoshop is more focused on image editing and photo manipulation. Krita is for digital drawing.
Photoshop has many great drawing tools and a frame-by-frame animation tool like krita
Photoshop is a great photo manipulation tool and it has some of the better digital l drawing/painting tools but its animation tools are... lacking, unintuitive and easily becomes very laggy/slow. krita has a massive one up on photoshop in the animation department. even with the features that krita has over photoshop its hard to use and super laggy even at the lightest use of filter layers however. I will stick to krita cause screw adobe.
